Hemaima, or Jemima, married John Shera, while John Henry's son was Te Raumoa Balneavis. He contested the 1858 Pensioner Settlements by-election, but was beaten by Captain Symonds. Later he became Sheriff of Auckland as well as returning officer, and was the Italian Consul: as well as English he could also speak Italian, Arabic, Maltese, French, and Māori. At the time of his death he was especially remembered as the first violin of the Choral Society. (en)
